("LIPTON E. SINGLETON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

TIRE-FLUID CONTAINER.

To (all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I. Cmrrox E. SINGLE- rox, a citizen of the United States, residing iii-Brooklyn, Kings county, Xew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tire-Fluid Containers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a container or closed package for holding tire fluid and for similar purposes, and consists in the particulars hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, Figural, is aside view of one ofmy improved containers, the ends being partially shown in section tobetter illustrate the construction; and Fig. 2 is an end view.

The same parts are referred to by similar reference letters in both figures.

The body A, of the container'is formed by a stilt sheet metal casing preferably made of tinned plate. The ends of the body are provided with suitable closures B B, having edge flanges b, b, and being centrally depressed. These closures B B tightly close the ends of the body A. Centrally of the closures I place threaded nipples C C which are respectively adapted to engage the hose connection of an air pump and the valveof a pneumatic tire. The closures B B are preferably made imperforate, and the nipples C G are soldered or otherwise fastened thereupon.

In use, the closure is inserted in one end of the container which is then filled with the tire-fluid, and the other closure is inserted and properly secured in place. hen it is desired to use the fluid, the closures are perforated behind the nipples by forcinga sharp instrument through the nipples. The con. tainer is then connected at one end with the hose coupling of a pneumatic pump and at Specification of Letters Patent.

the other end with thetire valve and the fluid is driven out of the container into the tire by pumping airinto the container. If

permit the nipples C C to sit back within the ends of the body A so that they are protected from accidental injury, and so as to form a compact and convenient form of container for packing or shipping. The rigid ,form of the container permits it to be handled, packed and stored without danger of its being punctured or of its bursting when exposed to the heatof the sun or other similar warmth. And the method of emptying the container by use of compressed airmakes it practicable to discharge its contents in a clean, etlicient and expeditious manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the'United States is n 1. In a tire fluid container, the combination of a stifi" body casing provided with imperforate end closures having nipplesthereupon adapted respectively to engage with an ,air pump coupling and with the valve of a pneumatic tire.

- 2. In a tire fluid container, the combination of a still body casing provided with imperforate centrally depressed end closures having nipples thereupon adapted -res ectively to engage with an air pump coup ing and with the valve of a pneumatic tire.
